WEBVTT - The Late Debate | 19 December 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:00.520 Lately. 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:06.520 Welcome to the Late Debates. 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:11.000 Good evening, everybody, and welcome to the not so Late Debate. 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:13.920 I'm Liz Stor and joining me this evening is mister 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.200 Joe Hildebrand and Gabriella Power. 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.960 So you know you're in for a corker of a show. 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.880 Later on, we'll discuss a group of Virginian teachers who 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.440 have banded together to take their school to court for 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:34.960 mandating using students preferred pronouns. Keir Starmer's government is again 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:39.880 under fire for mauling the Equality Act, desegrating women's rights 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:45.800 once again, and Reagan has launched another legal action. Seems 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:50.120 like this woman can't even take a joke. But first tonight, 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:55.000 with just thirty two days before Trump takes the White House, 0:00:55.080 --> 0:01:00.360 the Democrats are desperate to pass the hugest Omnimus Bill. 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:04.960 You will not believe what is in these pages. But 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.680 remember back in September when Speaker of the House Mike 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:12.720 Johnson promised everyone this wasn't going to happen. 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:18.560 But overall with the cr as our leader just noted, 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.880 we have we have broken the Christmas omni and I 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.880 have no intention of going back to that terrible tradition. 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.320 So there won't be a Christmas omnibus. If somebody asked 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.000 me in the hallway a little while ago, will there 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.120 be mini buses? We don't want any buses. We're not 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.080 going to do any buses, okay, And we got to 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.920 get through this so everybody understands the necessity. 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:37.040 It is not palatable. 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.160 This is the sausage making part of legislation that nobody likes. 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.080 But we're governing and we'll pick it up in January 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:45.680 and start a brand new day for America. 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.520 What a difference two months can make. That man can 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:54.840 only afford to lose one vote otherwise lose the race 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:59.120 for Speaker on January third, So he's all but a gana. 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:03.720 But to give you an illustration of just how huge 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.600 this omnibus bill. 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.040 Is, he has Republican rip Nancy Mace. 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.040 Okay, So we printed off the CR that dropped last night, 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:14.440 and the last. 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.080 CR that Congress did, and what didn't you do? 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.440 The CR that was done in September went. 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:25.080 From September twenty sixth to December twentieth eighty four, excuse me, 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.160 eighty five days for this CR. 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.320 It's twenty one pages. 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.760 Now we have the next r that we're going to 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.200 be voting on on the next day or two. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.560 It is fifteen hundred and forty seven pages. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:43.560 Who has time to read something that huge. 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:44.520 Well, one guy did. 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.360 His name's vivik Ramaswami, and as you know, he's someone 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:53.040 that Trump has appointed to the Department of Government Efficiency. 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.639 Here he is telling us a little bit about what's 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:56.200 in this thing. 0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.639 Versus is about to pass a bill that blows away 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:00.799 your tax pay money. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:01.840 But they made it over. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.120 Fifteen hundred pages long so you wouldn't read it. It 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.840 contains pay raises for members of Congress and I'm not 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.960 making this up an expansion of their federal health benefits. 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.160 It contains all kinds of special interests and pork funding, 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.600 including opening up a new stadium in Washington, DC. It 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.040 renews the Global Engagement Center, which is a keynode of 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.520 the censorship industrial complex. And the worst part is they 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.680 didn't want you to know about any of it. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:32.440 This bill also blocks subpoenas of House data, which would 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:37.960 make it impossible for Trump's doj to investigate Congress, namely 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:43.040 the Gen six Committee. That would be impossible should this 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:48.120 bill pass. It also funds twelve bio weapon labs. 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.880 Why do we need those? Would love an explanation there. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:55.720 But it was all going quite swimmingly until one Elon 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.240 mass took to Twitter with his over two hundred and 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:04.200 seven million followers to alert the American public as to 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.360 what was going on. He tweeted, any member of the 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.320 House or Senate who votes for this outrageous spending bill 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:15.800 deserves to be voted out in two years. Well, here's 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.000 Fox News reporting on the resulting pandemonium. 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.039 Here's what happened. A post on x by Elon Musk 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.320 sent shockwaves through the Capitol House. Republicans were trying to 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.640 see if they have enough votes to pass the spending 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.160 bill in the next hour or two. Musk posted that 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:37.000 anyone who votes hes should lose their office in two years. 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:41.240 And lawmakers are scrambling tweets from Moscow. 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:42.520 And has that complicated this? 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:43.320 Well? 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.960 I mean, I think that there's always a lot of 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.080 interest in what's happening up here, and this is more 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:51.520 than interest. 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.600 They're telling people they vote, yes, they should be voted out. 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:58.159 The social media world is a part of our politics. 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.600 Yes, the social media We the ears party of politics. Now, Gabby, 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.880 this is such an incredible feed. It really shows how 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:11.760 much X is such a flex now everyday people. Elon's 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.920 not an everyday person, but there was plenty of those 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:19.080 also jumping online alerting the American public. Get on the line, 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:23.599 call your member of parliament because this bill cannot pass. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.200 Just tell them you won't vote for them if they 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:25.880 support it. 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.400 It's amazing. It doesn't just show the power of Elon Musk. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.360 It shows the people in America and how engaged they are. 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.720 And we really saw that in that election campaign. So 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.000 many people were getting information on sources like X because 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.640 they weren't getting it from the mainstream media, and people 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.799 like Elon Musk and other digital creators like Dannie Johnston 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.479 and Charlie Kirk were really engaging with American voters, and 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.120 people were turning out to vote for the first time 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.360 and throwing their support behind Donald Trump because that's who. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:53.000 They wanted in. 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.120 But it's interesting people aren't just sitting back and waiting 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.800 for January twenty when we do finally get Trump back 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.320 in there, now calling up their representatives as Nacy Mace 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.920 was encouraging them to do, and actually now having to 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.680 say and how this is playing out. I think it's 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.960 it's actually pretty amazing. And then but when you look 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:15.039 at the spending that and the debt that America is in, 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.400 it just highlights the need for those this government efficiency 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.160 that pivic Ramislami and Musk will be leading. 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.080 Yeah, we've got a cost of housing crisis over in 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.039 America as well. And they're like, you want twelve bio labs, 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.120 you want forty pay rises for everyone. 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.520 Got to make COVID somewhere. You know, you can't just 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:33.440 do it in your back yard. 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:34.920 The violer, that's right. 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.560 Yeah, Look, I think I'm not sure how comfortable I 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.880 am with Elon Musk just single handedly deciding. 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.159 On making people aware. 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.880 Ye's crazy true, and it is. It is a long 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.320 time on American anided Australian tradition where if you've got 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.599 a whole bunch of stuff, or even just one little 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.600 thing that you know is going to be absolutely horrendously unpopular, 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:59.600 we whack it. You attach it to a giant omnibus 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.120 pillar and an a giant omnimus bill, or sometimes you 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.240 can just attach it to a bill that's really really popular. 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.919 So it's like this is the free Kittens for All bill, 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.240 and then you just attach the sort of pay rise 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.440 for parliamentarians on the bottom of it, and then of 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.480 course you try to shove it through when everyone's looking 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.800 to break for the holidays, everyone's looking to go home 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.400 for Christmas, and you basically say, dude, don't you And 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.600 this is what Anthony Alberanzi, of course, very successfully did 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.320 in the last week of parliament. So Anthony Alberzi has 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.000 managed to do what Joe Biden and the two US 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.800 Houses of Congress have not been able to do and 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.800 get all the including the course of social media bills, 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.600 which very much upset Elon Musk, which may have been 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.480 why he was a bit salty and posted that tweet 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:45.360 in the first place. 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.760 He has rightly said that this bill is a crime. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.960 He had many successive tweets after that first one alerting 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.160 to the public what was actually going on in their 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:01.240 House of Parliament. He kept saying, now now I've learned this, 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:02.680 Now I've learned. 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.920 That they're also pushing such and such. 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:09.440 This bill is a crime. It cannot be allowed to continue. 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.920 But you make a really good point there, Joe, because 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.040 that's exactly what they've done. Because also in this omnibus 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:19.080 bill is one hundred billion dollars for disaster relief, and 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.240 we know that the communities that were affected by the hurry. 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.560 To donate it to the Democrats presidential campaign. 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.040 Yes, so they've really put. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:32.600 Members who represent those states between. 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:33.560 A rock and a hard place. 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:42.239 As is explained by Republican rep Anna paul Lina Luna, Sorry. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.439 We don't have that grab for you. She's basically saying, this. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:50.680 Thing is a sh I direct quote sandwich, because this 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:51.760 is what they've done. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.640 That's what I'm doing. That's right. So you don't give us. 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.680 If you don't give us the pay rise, you don't 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.840 get your disaster relief funding. And that is the whole 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.800 purpose of having an no be bill. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.520 That you know, absolutely diabolic. 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.920 It is dastardly, It is diaboltic, but diabolical, and it 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.640 is just it is politics. But again, I guess Trump 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:11.480 and Alon are going to drain the swamp and the. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.319 Absolutely big plug. Trump and JD. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.280 Vans have put out a statement saying Republicans do not 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:19.560 let this pass. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.040 Here's that Anna Paulina grab for you. The fact is 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:25.640 is that, look, this is a sandwich. 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.360 I don't know how to say that we're being forced 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:28.240 into this position. 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:29.640 They could have done a standalone. 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.199 They did this because they knew that it would put 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:32.800 members in this position to support it. 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.400 We're damned if we do. We're damned if we don't. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.160 But of course the Democrats are all for it. Here's 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:41.480 Democrat Dick Durbin told about the forty pay rise. He 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:45.760 initially pretends he didn't even know about this bit, and 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.040 then goes on to have a spat with the reporter 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:48.640 about it. 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.280 Members are giving themselves a pay raise? Do you guys 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:53.199 deserve a pay raise? 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.920 Well, that's news to me, it's good news. You know what, 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.560 has it been ten years or fourteen years? No call? 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.280 People look at the performance of kind and saying why 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:04.319 should we give them more money? 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.920 What about the media, Think about that for a second. 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.160 We're not paid by public money. 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.480 I know you're not, but I mean half of your listeners, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.840 who are there anymore? You're still getting the same paycheck. 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:13.480 What's going on? 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.199 If in doubt just starts sledging. 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.600 The reporter, I mean talk about biting the hand that 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.280 leads you, Gabby, Well, he. 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.480 Does have a bit of a point with it. 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.040 If he's covering talking to a CNN reporter, You mean 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.120 you look at the coverage, there's election campaign. It seems 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.040 pretty one sided. And you know, of course, don't look 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:32.080 at me, to look at you. 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:38.760 That's say that said the reporter. No problem. 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:45.600 And the drone pandemonium in America has continued, but finally 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.480 we have a word on it from the President of 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.520 the United States. 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.880 Nothing the furious apparently, but the checking it all out. 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.120 There's a lot of drones. 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:01.079 Authorized to pop down. I think you won't they all guys. 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:02.520 Everybody's wanting to get in a deal. 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:03.920 But we'll. 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:10.800 Quote, after about a week of pandemonium, that was very compelling, 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.839 rich and I'm sure everyone is one hundred reassured. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:16.800 Thank you, mister President. 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.480 I think a grateful nation can sleep easy. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.360 Yes, absolutely, after seeing that grabs so reassured. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.520 It doesn't help Americans in any way. What American is 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.040 watching that feeling reassured? And you know, and no one 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.719 is better off with Biden leading at the moment. We've 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.800 we've learnt that over the last four years he hasn't 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.080 really been there. It's been his staff around him that 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.480 have been making the decisions. But you know, at least 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.640 when we heard from Donald Trump, at least he was 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.640 confirming that the military knew where these drones were being 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.080 launched from. Biden just said, oh, apparently there's nothing nefarious. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:52.199 It's just I can't even speaking. It's just litly. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.760 I can't tell you what it is or what's going on, 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.720 but I can assure you it's completely safe. 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.439 It's nothing to be worried about. 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:04.679 Once so because Biden and the US governmental apparatus at 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.800 large has been so utterly hopeless at discovering what is 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.400 actually going on, Liz, and also they claim I have 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.120 taken matters into my own hands and thought, well, you know, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:15.600 if no one else is doing their job, I'm going 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.920 to roll up my slaves, I'll do it for you. 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:24.000 And on my Groundbreak, my groundbreaking podcast, The Real Story 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.400 with Joe Hildebrand, I thought, I'll get the real story 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.480 on the drones, and I got an aviation expert who 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.160 some of your viewers might know, Captain Byron Bailey. He 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.400 sometimes comes on the show. He was very active in 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.600 trying to pinpoint the location of m H three seventy. 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.680 He's got some He sort of analyzed all the data 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.080 and stuff and he wrote a book on it with 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.520 the late great Ian Higgins of the Australian but he 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.680 came on and he has a lot of high level 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.640 contact sources in the US military and the US Air 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.800 Force in particular, in one particular, a retired lieutenant colonel 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.640 of the Air Force. He spoke to over night, and 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:06.600 apparently what the military are all saying, Spill is that 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:08.880 and this is amazing. Is the first time I've actually 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:13.960 heard this, and it's perfectly plausible, perfectly rational. It explains everything. 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.120 But it is that a while ago, a few years ago, 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.319 I think we said that the late nineties or whenever 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.440 it was, but a few years ago, NASA basically funded 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.839 all these private companies, for the most part to come 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.040 up with drone technology to see which would be the 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.160 bear and this is the sort of thing it does 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.160 all the time, which would be the best to meet 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:39.680 America's civil and possibly also military, but largely civil needs. 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.400 NASA is obviously a civilian organization because of course they're 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:47.400 going to need huge amounts of these drones for what 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.320 is going to be the industries of the future. So 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.800 we already know, you know, your Amazon deliveries are all 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.160 going to come by drones soon, Your Uber eats will 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.959 all come by drone soon, and so warfare will be 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:02.400 warfare pretty much already one hundred percent drives. But and 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:03.640 you know, and back to the future, we're going to 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.040 be flying around and we're going to have driverless cars 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.400 and will soon have flying taxis as well, and driverless 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.200 flying taxis like the Jetsons Star Wars. And so what 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:16.800 they need to do is actually test all this new technology, 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.600 test all these sort of prototypes and see if it works. 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:24.040 And they actually set up they have set up sort 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:29.440 of designated air traffic corridors highways if you like, in 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.520 the northeast of America, which is the most populous part. 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:37.480 So you're in New York's, New Jerseys, your Virginia, Virginia. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:38.840 They've all sights. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:43.480 Well apparently between New Jersey and Virginia that is one 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.280 of that that is one of the highways and is 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:50.120 below one thousand feet, which is the lowest that any 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.760 light aircraft can go. So no light aircraft can go 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.720 below that one thousand feet, and the drones operate there 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.160 where there's not meant to be anything else. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:14:58.640 But if. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:04.760 Simply these guys establishing this corridor, getting their drones in 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.680 the air testing things, why wouldn't the government just say. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.520 That because the government doesn't want Russia or China to 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:13.800 know anything about what they're doing. 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.120 I'm sure they know all about it now we are 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:17.440 in a discussion. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.360 I don't want them to know because this is such sense. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:25.640 So you've just told Russia and China good ones. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.200 Because it is so cutting edge, they'll just see that 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.320 and think it's Iranian aliens or whatever. But it is 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.440 so cutting edge technology, it is so sensitive, and obviously 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.400 industrial espionage is a huge thing. We know that China 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:43.000 crawls all over whatever technological secrets they can get their 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.440 hands on, and this of course explains why, as many 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.080 experts have said, every single one of these drones have 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:54.840 been cited has official FAA regulated flying lights on the 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.440 red light on one side and the little flashing one 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:03.040 as well, so they're all aboid by US Federal Aviation 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.960 Authority rules, which of course, if there were any foreign force, 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.840 be it from another country or another planet, they would 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.400 not be doing. So this is the only theory that 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.440 to me makes perfect sense. 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.280 And we'll make sure that in. 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.600 New Jersey is listening to your podcast, and many people 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:19.880 are quite concerned. 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:21.440 Were hardly going. 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.200 The real sports solved the problem? 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.280 I think that could very much be true because it 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.920 also works in with the theory circulating that this has 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:33.960 got a lot to do with the fact that the 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:39.520 FAA's Reauthorization Act back in twenty eighteen is due to 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:44.320 expire in December twentieth, and so the next administration will 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:48.240 be looking to make a different bill furthering those powers, 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.400 and everyone's like, oh, it's going to be another grab 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:51.560 for our freedoms. 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.560 Only time will tell. 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.960 But we all know that America has struggled for a 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:01.480 very long time within ob city pandemic. It is well 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.680 known throughout the Western world that they are the leaders, 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:09.639 although Australia is embarrassingly playing catch up. According to CDC data, 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:14.639 more than one in five Americans are obese. According to 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:18.520 the same data in twenty three states, it's more like 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:23.840 one in three RB. So what does the San Francisco 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:29.399 Health Department decide to do? Hire a fat positivity expert 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.600 to consult on weight stigma and neutrality. Her name is 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:38.280 Virgie Tovar, and here she is weighing in on what health. 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:38.919 Means to her. 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.560 Where do you see the intersection? 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.040 Really, what is your definition of health? 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.480 Yeah, that's really complicated. I think I want to sort 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.359 of I want to talk about that question, but I 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.600 want to start by saying that, you know, no one 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:58.080 has to be healthy, you know, right, Like I mean, 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.880 it's like no, like, there is no government body that's 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.000 like out there putting you know what I mean, No 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:07.440 one owes anybody that in either the traditional sense of 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.520 the word or any other more innovative or you know, 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.639 more politicized maybe even version of that word. So I 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.159 think it's important to say like, and I want to 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.520 back up and bring an intersectionality and say like, great, like, 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.320 look at the disabled community, right, like, I think people 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:26.040 with disabilities have an activist within that space have consistently 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.440 been saying like, I'm never going to be your notion 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:28.879 of healthy. 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:30.680 That doesn't mean I don't get to be a full human. 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:32.960 You get to treat me some kind of way, right, 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.600 And so I think that I love taking that principle 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:41.159 within disability rights to fat activism and to understanding of fatness. 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.960 Except that being fat is not a disability. And I'm 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.760 sure the people living with a disability would be the 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.760 first to say so, how jolly insulting. 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:54.200 This woman has. 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.679 Authored a book called You Have the Right. 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.520 To Remain Fat. 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.760 I mean, why does San Francisco Health Department get off 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:06.440 gabby when this is the second biggest killer, second only 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:08.359 just smoking in the United States. 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:12.520 No longer needs encouragement to eat junk food or get 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.480 fat because everyone loves it. Like if I'm doing a 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.920 trip to America, I'm going to shake shack. I'm going 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:18.880 to all the places. 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:19.560 And living it up. 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.320 But the thing is, we could laugh about it, but 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:26.480 it's a serious health problem in America. Seventy million Americans 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.560 are OBEs. And then you know, the life expectancy over 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.640 in the US is nowhere near commit to other developed nations, 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:34.880 and it's a huge concern. Of course, if you're going 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.160 to the doctor and the doctor's saying this is actually 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:39.880 a huge problem. Now you're now at risk of having 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:41.360 a heart attack, you're at risk. 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:43.640 Of cardio vascular disease, any number of. 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.960 Liver disease, and risk of types of cancers developing. But 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.120 then you've got this person that sand Franz hired saying, 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.760 you know, ignore the medical advice, We've got to stay fat. 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:58.240 It's absolutely ridiculous. I think san Franz got enough problems 0:19:58.240 --> 0:19:58.600 as it is. 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.399 I could really be focusing on the on the. 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:02.960 Issue I don't think there's a huge obesity problem among 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:08.479 San Francisco's homelessness epidemic, for example, struggling. But it's just 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:12.000 such a San Francisco story, isn't it. It's just absolutely amazing. 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:13.360 Negligent though, don't you think? 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:15.600 Well, I think the problem is. I think that it 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:16.960 confuses two things. 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:17.120 Now. 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.680 I'm the last person to ever want a fat shame anyone. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.880 I've got plenty of vices. I'm just lucky that wait 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:24.680 as is something I've never had to struggle with. But 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:25.800 I've got it. This is true. 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:29.000 Joe lives on AFC and Hungry Jacks. I kid you, 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:33.960 not every single night two piece Fox Tonight metabolically blessed. 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.440 I know I can't help it. I've got a very 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.040 fast metabolism and it just raised through it. But I'm like, 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.320
